15
00:01:38,359 --> 00:01:45,319
Detectives. Well, I did want
to explain why this particular recording's being done

16
00:01:45,359 --> 00:01:53,280
in twenty nineteen, and it's for
our New Year's week where I am taking

17
00:01:53,400 --> 00:02:00,319
a break from recording, and all
the other episodes being run are just previously

18
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:12,599
podcast episodes. The reason we're doing
this one here today with me actually recording

19
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:19,360
is I downloaded the episode and I
noticed that it was only twenty nine minutes

20
00:02:19,439 --> 00:02:23,000
long, and I thought, that
doesn't leave a whole lot of time for

21
00:02:23,159 --> 00:02:28,680
commentary on this series. And there
wasn't any. There was like a little

22
00:02:28,719 --> 00:02:35,240
snippet of theme music and that was
all. So, yeah, apparently this

23
00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:38,840
went out without any commentary on it, and we, you know, for

24
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:44,639
whatever reason, hadn't corrected it.
Well, I particularly enjoyed this episode,

25
00:02:44,719 --> 00:02:47,960
so I decided I wanted to go
ahead and record some commentary for it.

26
00:02:49,039 --> 00:02:53,080
But I'm recording it before the vacation
week, you know, so I'm not

27
00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:58,080
defeating my purpose or you know,
really going to work aholic extremes on this.

28
00:02:59,039 --> 00:03:02,719
So we're going to bring you an
episode of the Adventures of Philip Marlowe.

29
00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:07,639
The original air date is December the
twenty sixth of nineteen forty eight,

30
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:14,319
and the tititle is the Old Acquaintance. When it started, a Girl's wedding

31
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:16,360
in New Year's Eve were only six
hours away, and I didn't think the

32
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,199
bride to be would make either one
of them. But that was before I

33
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,919
ran up against the slut machine operator, the escaped convict, and above all,

34
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:29,080
the Old Acquaintance. From the pen
of Raymond Chandler, outstanding author of

35
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:35,080
crime fiction, comes his most famous
character as CBS presents The Adventures of Philip

36
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:49,680
Marlowe, and now with Gerald Moore
starred as Philip Marlowe, we bring you

37
00:03:49,680 --> 00:04:06,840
tonight's exciting story, The Old Acquaintance. At six o'clock in the last evening

38
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:10,840
of the year, I was sitting
with my feet up on my office desk,

39
00:04:10,919 --> 00:04:15,280
thinking of impossible New Year's resolutions and
what the girl on my Butcher's nineteen

40
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,439
forty nine calendar wouldow would not be
wearing. But at that pleasant point there

41
00:04:18,439 --> 00:04:23,439
was a soft, almost apologetic knock
on my office door. I said,

42
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,040
come in, and saw a quiet
man in quiet clothes who extended a quiet

43
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,480
hand. He introduced himself as Paul
Riker, a Beverly Hills insurance broken But

44
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,439
the tremor in his voice said,
very worried client, which our New Year's

45
00:04:35,439 --> 00:04:40,040
Eve was something I could do without. Mister Marlowe, You've got to find

46
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,319
Nancy Marshall for me, just for
a springboard. Mister Riker, who is

47
00:04:43,439 --> 00:04:46,959
Nancy Marshall. She's my fiance that
we were to be married at my place

48
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,839
in Beverly Hills tonight a New year'sz
Yes, you see, it was at

49
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,560
the New Year's Eve party a year
ago that we met for the first time.

50
00:04:53,079 --> 00:04:55,959
When'd you last hear from her?
Two hours ago? She called and

51
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,439
said that she was in terrible trouble, that nobody, especially the police,

52
00:04:59,439 --> 00:05:02,120
could help her. Well, the
wedding was off. I see, you're

53
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,160
sure it's not just a matter off. You're being left at the order another

54
00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:09,920
man. Oh no, no,
I'm certain that's not it. Now,

55
00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:13,160
please, mister Mallow, will you
help me? Mister Riker, you New

56
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:15,800
Year's Eve means wedding bells, but
to me it's something else, specifically a

57
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,839
cozy little apartment I will show boulevard
with a very nice girl and a couple

58
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:25,120
of chilled bottles of sham. What
is it, miss Smallow? What's wrong?

59
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:31,600
Somebody outside right? Get away my
door, whether through those shots through

60
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,800
the frosted blast my office door.
Wasn't interested in checking up on his marksmanship,

61
00:05:35,079 --> 00:05:36,879
because by the time I got to
my feet, he was taking the

62
00:05:36,879 --> 00:05:40,480
stairs of the street. When I
got outside, I was just in time

63
00:05:40,519 --> 00:05:44,319
to see him pile into a pickup
truck and raw off. The best I

64
00:05:44,319 --> 00:05:46,120
could do was get a face full
of exhaust fumes and the last three numbers

65
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,759
on his license plate, which read
seven to one one. When I got

66
00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:53,720
back to a riker and the glass
on my office floor, I found the

67
00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:57,319
potential groom whiter, shakier, and
less quiet than at our first meeting,

68
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,360
Smallow, did you get a Do
you know who it was? Oh?

69
00:06:00,399 --> 00:06:02,839
I don't. Now relax a minute, Ryker and think who could possibly object

70
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,480
to you and Nancy getting married?
But that's just stick. This is nobody

71
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,439
I know of, mister Marlow,
and I'm positive that the same is true

72
00:06:09,439 --> 00:06:11,759
of Nancy. All right, now
tell me where does Nancy live? In?

73
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:15,800
A villa fourteen twenty eight North Havenhurst
Drive at number twelve. But I've

74
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,720
already been there and she's gone.
Were you inside? No? No,

75
00:06:17,879 --> 00:06:21,560
the door was locked. But mister
Mallow, I thought you had specific plans

76
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,639
for this evening. I do.
But the way things stack up right now,

77
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,600
they've got a better chance of keeping
the Nancy Marshall. Now look,

78
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:30,360
go back to your place in Beverly
Hill, stay away from frosted glass windows,

79
00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:33,079
and will you hear from me?
We're real lucky, mister Riker.

80
00:06:33,079 --> 00:06:44,600
It's still might turn out to be
a happy New Year. When Ryker left

81
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,279
the office, I call lieutenanty Barra
at police headquarters. After being told that

82
00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:50,439
it would take at least a half
hour to get my kind of lead out

83
00:06:50,439 --> 00:06:54,759
of the seven eleven I had on
a pickup truck's license, I headed for

84
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,600
Nancy's villa on North Havenhurst, where
it took me ten minutes to outsmart the

85
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,160
catch on the back door. Inside, except for a carelessly overturned box of

86
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,519
old snapshots, which meant nothing to
me. With a lot of half open

87
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,000
drawers and closets, I was no
place. And in the kitchen, where

88
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,399
there was a full cup of cold
coffee next to an open newspaper, a

89
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,199
set up was almost the same.
Not quite, because on the front page

90
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:20,959
of the paper there was a banner
story complete with pictures, that shouted the

91
00:07:20,959 --> 00:07:25,079
news of three men who had broken
out of the state penitentiary that morning,

92
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,480
and one of them, a man
named Steve Doyle. Had a face that

93
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,959
I had seen only minutes ago,
and one of the snap shots in the

94
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:39,560
overturned box. I grabbed the paper
and started back to check with the snapshot

95
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,240
once again for good measure. But
the second I stepped into the living room,

96
00:07:43,279 --> 00:07:48,319
I stopped. Hello, I don't
believe I know you. Oh.

97
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:55,319
The voice matched the lady perfectly.
She was tall, beautiful brunette about thirty,

98
00:07:56,079 --> 00:08:00,839
wearing a beige, metallic wool jersey
that covered more curves than ride on

99
00:08:00,839 --> 00:08:03,639
a roller coaster. But the large
monogram day on a purse meant that this

100
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,519
was not the woman who would plan
to marry Paul Ryker. I said,

101
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,639
I don't believe I know you.
The name is Arthur Murray. You're late

102
00:08:11,639 --> 00:08:13,279
for your rumble lesson? Oh never
mind, the joke's right, boy,

103
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,720
it's a waste of your time.
Aunt mine. All right, then we'll

104
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,800
play it very straight. The name
is Philip Marlow. I'm a private detective

105
00:08:20,839 --> 00:08:24,439
and I'm working for a very worried
man. Now you what's your connection with

106
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,680
Nancy Marshall. I'm just, shall
we say, an old acquaintance. That's

107
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,200
all not enough. I'll prime the
pump some more. I was hired to

108
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,480
find Nancy, who seems to be
in a lot of trouble and coincidentally in

109
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,159
trouble on the same day that Steve
Doyle breaks out of stir Now once more,

110
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,559
exactly where do you fit in?
I don't think I'll tell you,

111
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,840
mister Marlow, if you don't mind, well, I oh, pearl handled

112
00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:50,879
huh A very sheet but deadly.
Now get in that closet there, Marlow.

113
00:08:50,919 --> 00:08:52,440
Go on, all right, all
right, just so we don't go

114
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,200
through the same routine when we meet
again, and we will. Who are

115
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,320
you? You don't listen very carefully, Marlow. I've already told you that

116
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,759
I'm an old acquaintance. It's the
season for them, remember, Now get

117
00:09:03,759 --> 00:09:16,559
in there and shut up. Nancy. Marshall's pillow was postwar construction at its

118
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,200
worst. Closets included. So I
didn't stay tucked away with the mothballs any

119
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,320
longer than it takes to say,
old acquaintance. In the minute I kicked

120
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,519
my way out, I went right
for the telephone, and my only one

121
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:37,159
hundred percent bona fide lead the number
seven eleven. This liutenant ybar MALOI barra

122
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,360
anything for me on that license number? Oh yeah, if you're sure it

123
00:09:39,399 --> 00:09:43,440
was a pickup track of the channels
are pretty good at it either belongs to

124
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,399
a party name Maurice J. Called
it at four O nine, South Maine,

125
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,600
or one's your own Grafts thirty two
twenty one and a half Melrose Avenue,

126
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,840
Jack, what's up Phil? Anything
I might be interested in? It

127
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,639
depends? Have you here of a
guy named Steve Doyle? What a last

128
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,600
gang that broke out this morning?
The very same matter of fact, he's

129
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,480
probably driving that pickup truck right now, Lucky Bora, I think I know

130
00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:05,639
what I'm doing, So how about
letting me run this end of it until

131
00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:09,799
I get stuck. There's a girl
named Nancy Marshall mixed up in this and

132
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,840
a delay at this time I cost
her life. All right, I'll stay

133
00:10:11,879 --> 00:10:15,759
clear at philed for a while.
Good, but just saw you don't get

134
00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:18,840
too care. Let's remember Doyle got
out of jail this morning the hard way.

135
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:33,480
He killed two guards. O fine, go by Marlo. I got

136
00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:35,960
the four on iro in South Maine. I knew that my first choice had

137
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,159
to be wrong because Maurice J.
Carl It turned out to be a bankrupt

138
00:10:39,279 --> 00:10:43,159
junkman and his pickup truck, which
was loaded with everything including the kitchen sink,

139
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,960
had three flat tires and hadn't moved
in a week. So if the

140
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,879
numeral seven to eleven were going to
live out to that reputation, Jerome Graf

141
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,200
had to be my man, and
that made the time to be careful.

142
00:10:54,320 --> 00:11:03,200
No. Thirty two, twenty one
and a half Melrose was a tired cottage

143
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,519
set back about fifty weed covered feet
from the sidewalk and from the rusted signs

144
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,200
Jerry Graff mechanic dangling at a crazy
angle from a weather beating beam over the

145
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:16,440
front door. I gathered that the
place double is both mister Graff's living quarters

146
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,039
and shop. I didn't see any
truck out front, so I decided to

147
00:11:20,039 --> 00:11:22,559
try the alley in the rear before
I knocked on any door. It was

148
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,039
then that I noticed for the first
time that I was being watched by a

149
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,799
short man with a long face,
who was slouched against the nearby a tree

150
00:11:30,879 --> 00:11:37,559
like a marionette with no strings attached. If you're lost, missed up,

151
00:11:37,639 --> 00:11:41,000
maybe I can help you. Maybe
I was looking for a pickup truck.

152
00:11:41,039 --> 00:11:46,480
See went around a pickup truck.
Now I wonder what that could be well,

153
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,679
it's a small deal, about a
half a ton and oh I get

154
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:54,759
it. Okay, here here's five. Now my question. Jerry Graff owns

155
00:11:54,759 --> 00:11:58,399
a pickup truck. But it ain't
here. It's been out since dark.

156
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,720
But Jerry's in. He's working late
tonight, working at what came on?

157
00:12:01,759 --> 00:12:05,879
You got your five talk? Okay, it ain't no secret. Jerry's a

158
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:11,279
nice maid for one armed bandits slot
machines? Is that his ragon? Yeah?

159
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,480
He used to be a big boy
with him too, but times have

160
00:12:13,639 --> 00:12:16,960
changed. Now he just works on
him for other guys. What are the

161
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,919
guys? Oh, mister, I
wouldn't answer that for even another five.

162
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,559
I wouldn't stay in business very long
if I did. But I'll tell you

163
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:31,159
one thing for free. In case
you're gonna visit Jerry, watch out for

164
00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:35,600
him. He's a very nasty man. Thanks for I can take care of

165
00:12:35,639 --> 00:12:52,840
myself, bust in. What do
you want information? Why as you pickup

166
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,840
truck? Grab? Somebody stole it? But he didn't leave his card?

167
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,679
Why what are you a proper dick, that's right, but one that works

168
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,720
close to the laws. So why
don't we call all the boys in blue

169
00:13:00,759 --> 00:13:03,000
and tell him all about it?
The cops. No, and wait a

170
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,559
minute, I don't like the law
pattern around here. Come on in,

171
00:13:05,639 --> 00:13:07,799
I'll tell you what you want to
know. Let's not skip any of the

172
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,519
details, huh. Like for example, the name's Steve Doyle. Oil,

173
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,039
I don't know. Well, okay, fellow, you win. The story

174
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,080
goes something like this. I want
to try again. Maybe a monkey rental

175
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,679
condition you don't throw in your talk? Come on, say do we play

176
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,639
for the walk? Come on,
talk, come on, come on?

177
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:35,960
All right, so far I know
a girl named Nancy Marshall's in some kind

178
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,879
of trouble because Steve Doyle broke out
of the pen this morning. Now you

179
00:13:37,919 --> 00:13:43,240
felling up blank? Sure? Sure? Why not? Oh Steve Doyle he

180
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,360
used to be crazy about Nancy,
but you didn't go for him. Then

181
00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:48,399
about a year ago a little more, maybe Steve got picked up for knocking

182
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,360
over a grocery store. He figured
he was caught because Nancy tipped the lot

183
00:13:52,399 --> 00:13:54,440
to get him out of her hair. Now he's out to get Nancy for

184
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,240
revengers. That out. That's it, And anyone who's close to it and

185
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,399
gets the same treatment, shemmy tell
me was Doyle. Here is either one

186
00:14:01,399 --> 00:14:03,120
who's driving a pickup truck. Yeah, but it wasn't my idea. He

187
00:14:03,159 --> 00:14:05,480
shoved a gun in my face,
said we were old friends and asked for

188
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,159
the keys. You know where he
is now? No, but if I

189
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,039
did, I'd keep it to myself. Doyle's full of hate, brother,

190
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,720
you can count on that. Now, what do you say about Claire?

191
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,480
And out of here? Just as
soon as I find out one more thing.

192
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,879
Now, there's another girl mixed up
in this. She's a brunette with

193
00:14:18,919 --> 00:14:22,279
a lot of curves. The initial
a calls herself an old acquaintance of Nancy's.

194
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,639
Any idea who she is or not? The slave a lia graph?

195
00:14:24,639 --> 00:14:26,440
And if I had time, i'd
beat the truth. How do you haven't

196
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,039
believed me? Because if you don't
hustle, mister, when you do catch

197
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,600
up with Nancy Marshall, you're going
to catch up with a corpse nothing more.

198
00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:41,919
When I got outside, two things
stood out of my mind like a

199
00:14:41,919 --> 00:14:46,399
pair of Clete's cornegie hall. First, my client's fiance was not the most

200
00:14:46,399 --> 00:14:48,840
innocent thame in Greater Los Angeles.
And second, I wasn't going to get

201
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:54,080
any place until I could locate the
old acquaintance. But then just as I

202
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,840
started for my car, the slough
who had sold me the dirty thumbnail sketch

203
00:14:56,879 --> 00:15:03,320
on Jerry Graff came running towards me. Hey, mister, did everything work

204
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,320
out all right? I was called
away on some other business. I'd have

205
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,840
been here waiting waiting for what.
Well, you know, in my game,

206
00:15:11,879 --> 00:15:15,360
I now and again give a guy
a little more dope than he boggained

207
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:20,159
for, And in that case I
sometimes end up with a bonus, so

208
00:15:20,279 --> 00:15:22,799
to speak. All right, now
we're about even. But if you can

209
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,519
tell me anything about a beautiful brunette
whose first name starts with an A,

210
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,960
I'll give you a bonus. It'll
keep you in bearing pretzels from now until

211
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,919
the fourth of July. Name that
begins with an A? Yeah, Hey,

212
00:15:33,639 --> 00:15:37,279
she visited with GREF this morning?
Maybe, yeah, it's possible.

213
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,440
Come on, thank thank god.
She's kind of tall, dresses like a

214
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:46,720
million bucks. That's right now.
What's the name? Yeah? Look,

215
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:52,240
twenty dollar bill? A name?
What is it? It's yeah, I

216
00:15:52,279 --> 00:15:56,000
got it. Adrian Star thirteen twelve, lookout Mountain Row. How do you

217
00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:00,320
know that? It was on the
registration card in her car? A cup

218
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:06,159
peek? Why don't you troubble at
grass, I'll take my twenty goodbye.

219
00:16:11,639 --> 00:16:12,639
I beat it up the walk the
grass, and when I got inside,

220
00:16:12,679 --> 00:16:15,799
I found exactly what I expected.
Doubled up on the floor in the middle

221
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,720
of a lot of oily machine parts, and still holding his stomach with both

222
00:16:18,759 --> 00:16:26,440
hands. It was your own graph, a very dead man. I started

223
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,519
for a telephone to call lieutenanty Barrow, but then I noticed something small and

224
00:16:30,639 --> 00:16:33,639
gold dyeing a few feet away from
the body. When I picked it up,

225
00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:37,840
I saw it was an ornamental buckle, the kind of a lady might

226
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,360
wear on a coat. So I
decided to skip lieutenanty bar Up at the

227
00:16:41,399 --> 00:16:48,480
time, being called my client instead. Hello, this is Marlow Riker.

228
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,759
Oh, yes, Marlow, what
is it? What if you found out

229
00:16:51,799 --> 00:16:55,279
quite a bit? First, I've
got to know one thing. Does Nancy

230
00:16:55,279 --> 00:17:00,240
Marshall have a gold belt buckle?
Gold belt buckle? Yeah, yes she

231
00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:03,680
does on her black coat. But
what about it, Marlow? What does

232
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,599
it mean? I'm I sure,
mister Riker, but it may mean that

233
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:21,359
Nancy Marshall just killed a man.
In just a moment, we will return

234
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,880
to the second act of the Adventures
of Philip Marlowe, but first. By

235
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,039
this time, a week from tonight, Jack Benny will have made his first

236
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,440
broadcast exclusively on the CBS Network.
Starting next Sunday, you'll find Jack here

237
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,720
with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris Rochester, Dennis Day, Don Wilson, and

238
00:17:37,759 --> 00:17:42,000
all the others who have made the
Jack Benny Show a regular Sunday evening delight

239
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:47,880
for millions of Americans. Just for
fun, the Jack Benny kind of fun.

240
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,920
Make a New Year's resolution to hear
the Jack Benny Show every Sunday,

241
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:56,279
starting a week from tonight, January
second, over these same CBS Network stations.

242
00:17:57,559 --> 00:18:02,240
And now with our star, we
returned to the second act of Philip

243
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:15,359
Marlowe and Tonight's story, The Old
Acquaintance. When I told Paul Riker that

244
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,039
the chances were good that his bride
to be had just knocked off a slot

245
00:18:18,079 --> 00:18:22,079
machine operator, my client reacted like
I kicked him in the stomach. When

246
00:18:22,079 --> 00:18:23,599
he caught his breath again, he
started telling me I was wrong and didn't

247
00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:26,839
stop until I hung up on him. Next thing on the agenda, as

248
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:38,519
I called the lieutenanty Bara, lieutenanty
of our hollow again. Lieutenant, Oh,

249
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,799
did you find the owner of that
pickup truck. Phil. Yeah,

250
00:18:41,799 --> 00:18:44,759
I founded me Bora. I'm calling
him his shop now. I had to

251
00:18:44,759 --> 00:18:47,920
talk with the guy. It was
Jerry Grab. What do you mean was

252
00:18:48,079 --> 00:18:49,960
Jerry Grab? Somebody came in here
and shot him just after I left.

253
00:18:51,319 --> 00:18:53,680
He's dead. He knew Steve Doyle
all right, but I'm pretty sure Doyle

254
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,640
didn't killing me Barra. Oh then
who did any idea? Mollo? Well

255
00:18:59,039 --> 00:19:02,559
looks very much like my client's fiance, Saint Nancy Marshall. I still don't

256
00:19:02,559 --> 00:19:04,160
know where she is, how it
all fits together, but look, I

257
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,640
gotta lead on an old acquaintance of
Nancy's named Adrian Starr. She lives up

258
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,839
on Lookout mountin Road. If you
don't hear from me and saying how you

259
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,039
might check number thirteen twelve. That's
my next stop. Okay, just be

260
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:26,440
sure it's not your list stop.
I drove up Laurel Canyon to look Out

261
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,880
Mountain. The only sign of life
was a young couple park where they could

262
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,759
look down at the city lights if
they wanted to. I backed into a

263
00:19:33,759 --> 00:19:38,960
bushy driveway across Adrian Star's bungalow and
stopped. Was small, modern and looked

264
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:44,480
deserted except for one dim light upstairs. I was about to get out and

265
00:19:44,599 --> 00:19:48,279
verify that when a pair of headlights
flashed down the road and a yellow convertible

266
00:19:48,279 --> 00:19:51,799
swept to a halt in front of
the place. It was Adrian Star who

267
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,279
got out. She started up the
wall toward the front door, stopped suddenly,

268
00:19:56,279 --> 00:19:59,440
and then ran back to a car
and drove off again. I kept

269
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,759
the yellows in sight when it turned
on Havenhurst and stopped in front of Nancy

270
00:20:03,799 --> 00:20:07,519
Marshall's villa. I pulled up in
time to see Adrian step inside and close

271
00:20:07,559 --> 00:20:15,920
the door, so I followed her, Marlow, what do you want?

272
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,440
I want to know what Jerry Graff
means to you, Adrian. I don't

273
00:20:19,559 --> 00:20:22,359
know any Jerry grafts or it means
no. Come on stop it. You

274
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,440
went down away shop to see him
this morning. I thought you might like

275
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,559
to know that he's dead. Mm
hm. My cops are hungry for anybody

276
00:20:30,599 --> 00:20:33,160
who so much as knew his name. Maybe I better come inside and talk

277
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,559
it over, don't you think?
Yeah? Maybe better just a minute?

278
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:45,680
Thanks, Hey, it's dark.
Why don't you turn on more life because

279
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,160
I like it this way? Okay, But honey, if you've still got

280
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,240
that pearl handled pop gun of yours. Let's leave it out of the conversation

281
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,640
and let's make it straight. Why
do you drop in on graphs this morning?

282
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,079
Because I knew the tuner or later
Steve Doyle would hit there. I

283
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,960
had to know if Stephen tended to
leave town or with still determined to get

284
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,480
us crazy revenge and all. Nancy
Marshall, huh, you know you're sticking

285
00:21:04,519 --> 00:21:07,119
your neck out quite away. It's
just for old time's sake. Baby.

286
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:14,119
Steve Doyle is a pretty tricky guy
to mixed with at this point. Oh,

287
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:19,759
Steve, Steve Doyle Marlow, private
detective. Sit down over there,

288
00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:22,960
Private detective, keep your hands out
of your pockets. I don't like you

289
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,200
because you're half cop, but play
it smart. You will get hurt.

290
00:21:26,839 --> 00:21:32,839
Well Abyan like hold home week.
Huh it's been a long time, Steve,

291
00:21:33,079 --> 00:21:36,640
Yeah, yeah, it sure has. Where's she, Adrian? Where's

292
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,240
Nancy? I don't know, Steve. You're lying to me. This is

293
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,039
her place. He got in with
a key. You've been on a seat

294
00:21:41,039 --> 00:21:45,400
graft. You know where she is, all right, so tell me and

295
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,680
tell me listen. Forget it,
forget about Nancy. This revenge will only

296
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,119
get you in the guest chamber of
Please let's get away. We can still

297
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,160
make it across the border. Please
take me with you. I love you,

298
00:21:56,279 --> 00:21:57,880
Steve, just like I always have, even when you throw me over

299
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:03,799
at it. Just tell me what
Nancy is. Come on, Adrian,

300
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:15,079
stop it. Doyle all right?
So I told you to behave. I've

301
00:22:15,079 --> 00:22:15,960
been through a lot, and I'm
tired, and I'm running out of time.

302
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:21,200
You're getting in my hair, and
that's bad. I won't shoot him.

303
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,920
I can't afford the noise. I
can give me something justice, good

304
00:22:25,039 --> 00:22:32,880
cool girl. Now, Adrian,
try again? Where's Nance? Come on?

305
00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:53,559
Where? I couldn't remember where I
was how long I've been lying there?

306
00:22:53,599 --> 00:22:57,279
But gradually I got the crazy idea
that I was being loved by a

307
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:03,519
very unhappy crook. Because I was
sure that somebody was crying and going through

308
00:23:03,559 --> 00:23:08,240
my pockets at the same time.
I tried to open my eyes. All

309
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,079
I could see was a little gold
buckle dash back and forth in front of

310
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:18,319
me. When it finally disappeared all
together, I rolled over and to hold

311
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,880
myself up onto my knees, and
then it all came rushing back to me.

312
00:23:22,839 --> 00:23:27,319
I had been in Nancy Marshalls Villow
with Steve Doyle Aydean Star and they

313
00:23:27,319 --> 00:23:32,039
were gone now, and I was
like, I heard a car start outside,

314
00:23:32,079 --> 00:23:34,400
so I got on my feet,
made it along the wall of the

315
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:40,359
door. It was Adrian and she
was behind the wheel of my Cooper away

316
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,720
from Where's Doyle? My car is
going off to Nancy. I've got to

317
00:23:42,759 --> 00:23:48,160
stop at Marlos to get out of
the way. Somehow I managed to jump

318
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,640
back just in time to keep them
getting a press job with the tread of

319
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,839
my own fist tires. And it
took ten minutes of steady concentration to get

320
00:23:56,839 --> 00:24:00,440
it through my throbbing head that Adrian
had actually stolen my car was gone.

321
00:24:02,279 --> 00:24:06,400
Oh the cold air must have helped
me, because one thought led to another,

322
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,000
and I finally began to separate the
facts from the fancias. I hadn't

323
00:24:10,079 --> 00:24:12,599
dreamed all I thought I had.
And when I realized that the whole idea

324
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,680
hit me and hit me hard,
I knew that I'd better get out to

325
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,960
look out mountain in a hurry.
I made it the sunset, led a

326
00:24:21,039 --> 00:24:26,039
cab and collapsed. Ut what I
got Mountain Road. Make it fast?

327
00:24:26,039 --> 00:24:30,079
Two years agen, huh, it's
ten bucks. Does that help? It's

328
00:24:30,079 --> 00:24:33,480
important? Oh it helps? Play? I know a great short cut.

329
00:24:33,839 --> 00:24:37,480
No road, it's not yet funished. How are bumps you? Moll won't

330
00:24:37,519 --> 00:24:47,160
matter, pal let's go. When
it was over, I felt like I'd

331
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,720
crossed the country on a pogo stick. But the cab driver was a genius,

332
00:24:49,759 --> 00:24:52,240
and with a shortcut we made the
distance to look Out mountain. Less

333
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,680
than ten minutes we got near the
place. I sent the cab back down

334
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,440
the hill out of danger. Went
the rest of the way on foot.

335
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,599
Because I got within sight of Adrian's
bungalow. I saw Steve Doyle getting out

336
00:25:03,599 --> 00:25:06,880
of the yellow convertible. I ran
up to the house, tried the door

337
00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:15,799
was locked. Fancy where are you
to take this? Join a part o

338
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:22,440
business? Oh wait toil drop that
gun stands fail? Okay, show you

339
00:25:22,519 --> 00:25:25,960
won't need that gun anymore. Doyle, just kick it over there out of

340
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:30,200
the way. Tell y'all get you
for this, fella. I doubt it's

341
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,559
Steve. You're all finished which you're
too thick headed to see it. And

342
00:25:33,599 --> 00:25:37,559
I guess it's time to relax and
wait for Adrian and we call the cops.

343
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,440
Just arrived. Marlow, don't turn
around, o kid, Adrian.

344
00:25:40,599 --> 00:25:41,720
Here we are, Marlow, touch
your gun back here to me. Come

345
00:25:41,759 --> 00:25:48,839
on now, Steve, stevea you
hurd, bad darling. Can you make

346
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:55,000
it to the car? I'll try
it. Got me on the side,

347
00:25:53,759 --> 00:25:57,920
Sorry, darling. Hurry, I'll
be with you in a minute. I'll

348
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:04,799
make it. Okay, Well Marlow, Yeah, okay, Adrian, tell

349
00:26:04,839 --> 00:26:08,079
me one thing first, Marlow.
Did Steve get to Nancy? No?

350
00:26:10,519 --> 00:26:14,359
You kill graffing time to shut him
up too, So Steve will never know

351
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,359
the truth fully, Adrian could be
it was you who crossed him in said

352
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,480
of the prison. You'll never find
out, not now, And you'll never

353
00:26:22,519 --> 00:26:26,400
realize how much I love him either. That's why I did it, Marlow,

354
00:26:26,559 --> 00:26:30,599
the only way I could hold him
for myself. And I was willing

355
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:37,839
to wait. Can you understand that? Yeah? I guess I can too.

356
00:26:37,839 --> 00:26:41,440
Bad love like yours has to be
wasted on a guy like Steve can

357
00:26:41,519 --> 00:26:44,480
never get away, Honey, up
with him. You'll never make it,

358
00:26:44,759 --> 00:26:48,039
maybe not, but if he goes
out, at least I'll be with it,

359
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,039
Marlow. And that's the way I'm
want. If you're gonna do anything,

360
00:26:51,079 --> 00:26:53,279
Adrian, you better get it over
with fast. That siren's a friend

361
00:26:53,319 --> 00:26:57,160
of mine is coming here, coming, Steve. You're good guy, Marlow

362
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,880
and a smart one. Just don't
follow us that it's along Marlow, Happy

363
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:22,640
New year Walla. Follow that collar
just plot for here. Who isn't it

364
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,400
Dave Doyle and Adrian Starry Barron.
That road makes a horseshoe turn. That'll

365
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,319
bring them out down below us there
at that junction. I've got one of

366
00:27:29,319 --> 00:27:32,240
those streets blocked, but the other
one's wide open. Bucky Barr. There,

367
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,279
she's stopping at the crossroad. Yeah, they've spotted my men down there.

368
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,279
She's turning around. They're heading out
the other way. She must be

369
00:27:42,319 --> 00:27:45,519
crazy, Mollow. They'll never make
that curve at that speed. And that's

370
00:27:45,519 --> 00:28:04,960
slowing down, he Barron, she's
heading straight for that stone wall. Well,

371
00:28:06,039 --> 00:28:10,160
Steve, that's it. It's all
over both jad when the boys got

372
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,799
them killed instantly. By the way, how's your head feeling not any better?

373
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:17,200
I'm okay, Burrn, you take
care on. Nancy marshallaw, Yeah,

374
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,559
she locked herself upstairs, sent her
home to Paul Ryker on the squad

375
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,519
car. The driver hurries they can
still be married at New Year's Eve.

376
00:28:23,079 --> 00:28:26,039
Ye, how the peg dos Jerry
grass kill earlier to night Marlow, What

377
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,240
made you change your mind? When
I found a gold buckle near Graf's buddy,

378
00:28:30,279 --> 00:28:33,359
but I thigured it was a fancy
little belt buckle that Nancy had dropped.

379
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,839
I saw exactly the same buckle when
I was coming to after Doyle hit

380
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,160
me on the head, and it
was not a belt. It was on

381
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,119
a shoe. Adrian shoe was the
mate of the one i'd found. Once.

382
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,079
You know Adrian Starr killed Graf.
You put the rest of it together?

383
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,240
Is that it? Uh huh?
See for a price, graph helped

384
00:28:48,279 --> 00:28:52,519
Adrian double cross Steve. She had
to kill him to keep him from talking.

385
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,799
She hit Nancy out for the same
reason, if she knew that if

386
00:28:55,839 --> 00:28:57,440
Steve ever got the Nancy, he'd
learn the truth. I wonder why she

387
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:02,119
didn't kill Nancy too. I think
she intended to heborrow, and she did

388
00:29:02,119 --> 00:29:04,839
it all really because she loved a
guy too much. Strange deal, all

389
00:29:06,079 --> 00:29:07,839
right to the end. You know, she didn't have a chance to make

390
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,039
that curve down the other way she
was driving, not even if she wanted

391
00:29:11,039 --> 00:29:15,839
to make any borrow. Yeah,
well, it's five minutes to midnight.

392
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,279
PHILM Happy New Year, fella.
I want to see a lot of you

393
00:29:18,319 --> 00:29:30,759
in nineteen forty nine. Same to
you, Lieutenant good night. After he

394
00:29:30,839 --> 00:29:33,599
Borrow and the others left, I
stayed up on Lookout moutin and watched the

395
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:41,119
new year come to Los Angeles.
A new year didn't seem to change things

396
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:45,680
much, at least on the surface. Somewhere down the road, a gang's

397
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:51,240
truck up olane Zeyn. I thought
again of Adrian's time, the girl who

398
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:56,079
loved not wisely. We called herself
an old acquaintance. Yeah, I'll never

399
00:29:56,079 --> 00:30:02,359
forget her. As I walked back
to my the city was ringing out the

400
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,839
old and ringing in the NUW.
I wish then, in some place on

401
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,039
everybody's list of resolutions, they'd make
room for that cup of kindness they were

402
00:30:11,039 --> 00:30:18,119
singing about, And then a guy
could say, Happy New Year. I

403
00:30:18,279 --> 00:30:47,400
mean it. The Adventures of Philip
Marlowe, created by Raymond Chandler, stars

404
00:30:47,559 --> 00:30:52,079
Gerald Moore and is produced and directed

00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:17,799
sure and be with us again next
week. When Philip Barlow says they all

409
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:22,640
knew he was aboard the yacht when
it exploded and sank, and everybody called

410
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,759
his death an accident. Yeah,
that is everybody except the Coughs himself.

411
00:31:27,759 --> 00:31:47,480
He said it was murder. An
hour of wonderful, delirious comedy is still

Lomitapner at ten o'clock, both Eastern
Standard Time over most of these same CBS

418
00:32:14,759 --> 00:32:36,759
network stations. This is Roy Rowin
speaking for CBS the Columbia Broadcasting System.

419
00:32:37,559 --> 00:32:45,480
Welcome back. Well, just a
fantastic episode, and you know listening to

420
00:32:45,559 --> 00:32:49,720
this because at this point it's you
know, where I'm recording this episode.

421
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,839
It's been years since we finished up
The Adventures of Philip Marlowe, and it

422
00:32:53,119 --> 00:32:59,880
just reminds me how much I really
appreciate, you know, the pacing of

423
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:04,279
show, the writing, you know, the acting. It just moves,

424
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,119
you know, in such a great
way, you know, with all of

425
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:13,680
these you know, fantastic scenes.
And to be honest, this particular episode

426
00:33:14,519 --> 00:33:17,160
was one that I did think about, you know, doing when we were

427
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:24,160
doing the Listener's Choice countdown where listeners
voted for their favorite episodes, but I

428
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:30,440
opted not to just because you know, it's a holiday episode and you know

429
00:33:30,599 --> 00:33:36,720
it wasn't at the holiday. But
the thing with the Adventures of Philip Marlowe

430
00:33:37,319 --> 00:33:43,440
is that they didn't have, you
know, a situation where eighty percent of

431
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:50,400
the episodes were you know, a
typical formula. There were so many variations

432
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,839
and when they broke away from that
sort of typical Marlowe, you know,

433
00:33:57,039 --> 00:34:01,920
has somebody walk into the office,
you know in Los Angeles sort of case

434
00:34:02,799 --> 00:34:07,559
and you get something you know different, you know, a New Year's theme

435
00:34:07,719 --> 00:34:15,440
case, or you had that there
was a case where there was a reconconstituted

436
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:22,440
castle in California, so there really
was some creativity with a lot of the

437
00:34:22,559 --> 00:34:27,960
ideas. And I also do appreciate
the endings. And I think the ending

438
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:34,639
of this episode too really does have
a nice, you know, not overdone,

439
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:39,079
but a really good, thought provoking
conclusion as people you know, in

440
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:45,719
nineteen forty eight looking forward towards the
new year, and some pretty solid thoughts

441
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:52,440
well delivered by more and well written. So absolutely enjoyed this episode and was

442
00:34:52,559 --> 00:34:57,159
really glad to be able to.
